Abstract
The article analyzes the controversial point of view, according to which the subject area of forensic science includes not only the activities of bodies and persons carrying out criminal prosecution, but also the activities of a lawyer-defender. In order to resolve the issue of whether a defense lawyer is a subject of criminalistic activity, the authors investigate a number of concepts such as ‘forensic activity’, ‘forensic means’, ‘criminal procedural means’, as well as the functional purpose of individual participants in criminal proceedings. The conclusion is made about the impossibility of attributing a lawyer-defender to the subjects of criminalistic activity.
